Learn What's in Season from Edible Phoenix's website. It is an excellent resource for valley residents and visitors!
I taped this to my fridge to spark ideas for meals, treats, and as shopping inspiration.
Some staples to take from this list in particular include:
Aromatic herbs like basil, cilantro, and dill are very potent green foods, boasting high antioxidant levels. These antioxidants protect each cell from damage, including our skin cells, which are so susceptible to harm this time of year.
Carrots have the highest levels of carotenoids. These phytochemicals protect the skin from UV damage, acting like an internal sunscreen.
Any of the fleshy, juicy melons that are beginning to be available can be a delicious way to stay hydrated during these dry, windy weeks of summer.
Enjoy your summer shopping and leave your favorite summer foods or recipes in the comments!
